Handel's Messiah
Royal Albert Hall, December 2020
Outstanding singing from the bass Dingle Yandell ... took us into a different plane. Yandell has a lofty authority married to a fluency of expression that consistently warmed the heart.

Angelotti, Tosca
Scottish Opera, October 2019
… the smaller characters are all excellent, led by a superb Angelotti from Dingle Yandell. It’s time he was given some bigger roles.

Dingle Yandell gives capacious stature to the short-lived Angelotti.
Ken Walton, The Scotsman, 18 October 2019
The singing was superb from everyone on stage, but special mention must be made of Dingle Yandell’s all-too-brief but magnificently sung Angelotti.
